Gravel FAQ for St. John and NWI Homeowners
What Is the Best Gravel for a Residential Driveway in Northwest Indiana?
Crushed limestone and Grade 8 stone are recommended for NWI driveways because their angular edges lock together when compacted, holding up through freeze-thaw cycles. A Grade 8 base topped with 3/4" crushed stone provides both structural depth and a finished appearance.
How Deep Should Gravel Be for a Landscape Bed?
A depth of 2 to 3 inches of pea gravel or river rock provides adequate coverage and weed suppression when paired with landscape fabric. Depths beyond 3 inches in planting beds can impede water from reaching root zones.
Can Gravel Help With Drainage Issues on My St. John Property?
Yes. River rock and coarser crushed stone are commonly used in French drain systems, dry creek beds, and foundation borders to redirect water away from structures prone to standing water after heavy rain or snowmelt.
Does Krooswyk Offer Bulk Gravel Delivery or Pickup Only?
Both options are available. Customers may pick up materials at the yard of our gravel landscaping supply store, or request bulk delivery via dump truck throughout the NWI service area. Call (219) 924-5605 to discuss your quantity and delivery logistics.
How Do I Choose Between Pea Gravel and River Rock?
Pea gravel suits planting beds and garden borders where a finer texture is preferred. River rock is better for drainage applications, dry creek beds, and foundation perimeters where a low-maintenance surface is the goal.
